24 hours later and his wound has started to heal, but there is some swelling still to the left thumb. I guess that is fairly normal considering the trauma it went through, plus the 3 stitches it has. I failed to mention yesterday that although there are only 3 stitches in the thumb it took 5 to get three to stay. They actually pulled two through the skin in the process of trying to tie them.
Today we went to the doctor's office to get a tetanus shot because the ER room didn't have one for children. I thought that was strange until I realize that most kids have a full vaccination schedule done my 6 years of age because they've started Public School and must have it. However, with his allergies we haven't done the vaccinations according to schedule and he still needed at least one more round of tetanus along with some others.
Now we are off to so the oldest 4 in our house can re-certify on our CPR.
